Resumen
STERN, Dalia; ARIAS-DE LA GARZA, Eduardo; GARCIA-ROMERO, María Teresa y LAJOUS, Martin. Covid-19 mortality in children and adolescents in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.3, pp.328-332. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/13211.
Objective:
To estimate Covid-19 and pre-pandemic low respiratory infection (LRI) mortality in children and adolescents in Mexico.
Materials and methods:
We estimated the percentage of total mortality attributable to Covid-19 (95% confidence intervals; 95%CI) and made the corresponding estimates for pre-pandemic LRI mortality.
Results:
In 2019, LRIs represented 8.6% (95%CI 8.3, 8.9) of deaths in children aged 0-9 years, and 2.0% (95%CI 1.8, 2.3) in those aged 10-19 years. In 2020, the corresponding estimates for Covid-19 were 4.4% (95%CI 4.1, 4.6) and 3.7% (95%CI 3.4, 4.1).
Conclusions:
Relative to LRI, Covid-19 may be exerting a considerable mortality burden, particularly in older children and adolescents.
